As part of its 'Paani Yatra' series, Gaon Connection recently published a ground report highlighting the plight of Lahuria Deh village that is completely dependent on water tankers for the past 20 years. Each villager was allowed only 15 litres of water a day for all their water needs. This limit has now been quashed and additional water tankers have been pressed into service.
